That's about it as to data.The other aspect is the grapevine, simply staying abreast of how the market is moving, what concessions are common, types of financing with contract to close times will tell you is a good indication of the movement in the market and how busy the related players are, lenders, appraisers, inspectors, surveyors, title plants and settlement agents.Construction knowledge, meaning costs for repairs, know what the trades are getting or what you labor costs might be, know costs of materials, generally and the time required for repairs.

Just think about the consequences of your place being boarded up or losing the total rent for a few months..

The TREC is an extremely complicated document to most people, and to truly understand the 8 page TREC contract, you really need to take a a college level course over it.For me personally in my wholesaling business, that trade off is just not worth it.

They were making trades like buying normal companies at .5x book value lol.

In my market, multi-family trade for between a 5-7% cap rate.
